Hello I am trying to model a screw chiller - working in designbuilder. the data I have from the manufacturer is part load, so, according to desighbuilder help file, I generated EIRFPLR using the data i got (using the chiller_performancecurve_coefficients.xls) for EIRFT and CAPFT I used 1 for the first coefficient and 0 for the others. (according to https://www.designbuilder.co.uk/helpv5. ... ht=chiller) the simulation keeps crashing, and the message I get is: (INTEL EIRFPLR is my generated curve)

Severe * GetElecReformEIRChillerInput: Chiller:Electric:ReformulatedEIR="CHILLER 1" * ~~~ ** Invalid Electric Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function of Part Load Ratio Curve Name=INTEL EIRFPLR for Electric Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function of Part Load Ratio Curve Type=LEAVINGCONDENSERWATERTEMPERATURE

Any advices?

Did you use °C to generate the curve?

The last part of the message says the curve type is LeavingCondenserWaterTemperature. For this choice, the valid curve type is a bicubic curve object. What type of curve object did you use?

I fixed the water temperatures - that was the problem.
